The way I see it, the chrestomathy will strive to conform to BF
prescription. Any bad usage will be explicitely noted and excused on
account of our not knowing better. Will not be changed: Gadri used to
identify NU, unless clearly needed (and unspecified other gadri - and
unspecified other stuff). Will be changed when possible: bad use of CAhA
and any other considerations the BF would care to share.

The chrestomathy hopes to be a benchmark of good lojban -  It *will*
parse according to jbofihe. I do not believe that past mistakes should
constrain the development of lojban's full potential. I intend to
include essais on usage vs correctness in such domains which have not
yet been fully understood - and may still contain errors in the final
version.

What other areas should be checked over to conform to BF?
